Step 7 – Check for Leaks  
Caution:  
To check for leaks:  
Your Endless Summer Portable Heater  
has been checked at all factory  
connections for leaks. Recheck all  
connections, as movement in shipping  
can loosen connections. Check for  
leaks even if your unit was assembled  
for you at the store.  
• Make 1-2 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing  
soap and 3 parts water.  
• Spoon several drops (or use squirt bottle) of the solution onto the  
regulator/canister connections.  
• Inspect the connections and look for bubbles  
• If NO bubbles appear, the connection is safe.  
• If bubbles appear, there is a leak:  
• Loosen and re-tighten this connection.  
• Re-check for a leak.  
• If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, disconnect  
propane source and contact 1-800-762-1142.  
Step 8 – Install Access Panel  
• Slide top tab of Access Panel inside Shroud Cover.  
• Lower bottom of Panel until closed, and rotate Knob until lock flange  
rotates inside of slot on plastic ring.

Do not return to place of purchase.  
Step 9 – Securing the Tank  
Mount your 20 lb. cylinder to a sturdy object such as a table or post  
within 3 to 4 feet of your heater when in use, this will prevent movement  
or tipping of the cylinder during operation.  
The clamp on the cylinder ring will attach to any round pole from 1” to  
2” in diameter, or a square post from 1” to 2” square. It will also adapt to  
various other shapes up to 2” wide.  
Determine where to locate your 20 lb. cylinder. Be sure that it is within  
2” what you are mounting it to.  
Place the bracket halves around the object and insert the 2” bolts  
through the open holes in one bracket and into the matching threaded  
holes in the second bracket. Position bracket within 6” of the middle of  
the cylinder. Finger tighten bolts.  
Slide the 20 lb. cylinder into the curved portion of the bracket, making  
sure strapping ends are not between cylinder and bracket. Enclose  
cylinder in strap and securely tighten strap in buckle.  
Using a 7/16” wrench, tighten the 2” bolts until they are secure. DO  
NOT OVER TIGHTEN.  
In some cases you may wish to secure your cylinder to a larger object  
or a wall. It is possible to mount the bracket attached to the straps to  
these surfaces by drilling matching holes and using screws and nuts or  
lag screws (not provided) to secure your cylinder.  
Note: Once you have read “safety first” and successfully completed  
Steps 1 – 9, you are ready to begin operating your heater.

Maintenance  
To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your heater make sure you  
perform the following maintenance activities on a regular basis:  
• Keep exterior surfaces clean.  
• Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive  
cleaning agents.  
• While cleaning your unit, be sure to keep the area around the burner  
and pilot assembly dry at all times. Do not submerge the control valve  
assembly. If the gas control is submerged in water, do NOT use it.  
It must be replaced.  
Air flow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner, and circulating air  
passageways clean. Signs of possible blockage include:  
• Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame  
• Heater does NOT reach the desired temperature.  
• Heater glow is excessively uneven.  
• Heater makes popping noises.  
Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This dangerous condition  
can damage heater and render it unsafe for use. Clean burner holes by  
using a heavy-duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may help clear away  
smaller particles.  
Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean dome and emitter with  
warm soapy water if any carbon deposits develop.  
Note: In a salt-air environment (such as near an ocean) corrosion occurs  
more quickly than normal. Frequently check for corroded areas and repair  
them promptly.  
TIP:  
Use high-quality automobile wax to help maintain the appearance of your  
heater. Apply to exterior surfaces from the pole down. Do not apply to  
emitter screen, dome, or wire guard.
